Report of the trustees lincorporatlng the Dlrectors, report) for the year ended 29 February 2024
Chalrman's Report
This is my first report as Chair of the Army Flying Museum having taken over from Slr Gary Coward in July
2023. After the challenges of 22-23, this has been a good year for the Museum for several reasons. Our visitor
figures grew another 14%. we have seen education visits return to pre-pandemic levels and our trading
company Is starting to generate more profit.
Our annual pass scheme continues to gather momentum wlth many local famllles vislting over four time5 per
year and building a relationship with the Museum. We have expanded our school holiday activities to include
additional activities like model making with Model For Heroes and other third party providers like local farm
visits, science shows and STEM companies.
Saturday l July 2023 saw the third year of Wallop Wheels & Wings take place. The event was the blggest yet
with 4,775 attendees and So aircraft flying in. We built new partnerships with Cadet groups, car clubs and
other charities. The event delivered a reasonable surplus supporting the fundraising objectives of the
Museum and helpin8 With our operatlonal costs.
A big focus this year has been on community development. We have worked hard to create meanlngful
relationships wlth local businesses, not only to create more income through corporate bookings but also to
raise awareness of the Museum and what we do. We have reintroduced an outreach programme with local
care homes and have been delighted to reinvigorate our offer for ScoutlGuide/BrownlelCub groups to
support their Alr Activlties Badges.
We are contlnuing to grow our Corporate Partners scheme and have been delighted to add GKN Aerospace
to our list of partners this year. Our work with Leonardo has allowed us to develop a new STEM trail looking
at the development of military aircraft and aimed at the 11-14 year old age group. We held anothersuccessful
STEM Day for local secondary schools with over 150 participants.
We have Introduced new events like The Brlck Event and Pre-school Pllots toddlergroup to help diversify our
audience and have seen a widening of our catchment area. Our lectures now run monthly with a broad range
of topics covered including more modern operations. We have also started to put on day-time talks and
themed tours to offer more variety for our vlsitors.
Sustainability has been an important part of our work thls year. We undertook a review of operations in the
café to improve our green credentials and added recycling provision acr055 the Museum. Staff undertook
Carbon Literacy training and we are ensuring our sustainability is embedded in future plans. We received
funding to install a deflbrlllator for use by our local community and are working on plans to renovate our
outside play area to make it more accessible.
We are also, finally, looking forward to installing an Apache AH Mk.1 in the Museum this year- the final part
of Project Eagle. The first gifting application was submitted 12 years ago and we are delighted that we will
be the first museum in Europe to display one of these iconic aircraft. We've had a stron8 year, and it is
imperative that we keep the momentum over the coming months to deliver an even stronger year in 2024-
25.

Fundralsing

fundraisin
Fundraising activitles have concentrated on
applications to grant making trusts. developing bu5ine55 relationships and major fundraising events. The
Museum did not receive any complaints in the period.
Fundralslng Events
Fundraising continues in earnest with an aim of generating £40k surplus every year. We have refreshed the
Development Committee and are focussed on building new business relationships, increasing the Corporate
Partnerships scheme and putting on public events to help ralse funds whllst also increaslng awareness of the
Museum.
The Museum's flagship fundraising event, Wallop Wheels & Wing5, took place oll Saturday 13 July 2024 with
an increased capacity of 5,000 and the event sold out for the fouith year running. We have built strong
relationships with Salisbury. Wilton and Andover Rotary, Hampshi￿ Search & Rescue, and numerous
Combined Cadet Force groups now and are extremely grateful for their support and the Support we receive
from the Army Air Corps and Army Aviation Centre in order to deliver this event.
This year, for the second year. we chose to bring the management of the event in-house with the Museum's
MarketinB & Commercial Operations Manager taking the role of Event Manager (rather than bringing in a
freelance Event Manager). This worked exceptionally well in terms of the Museum's ownership of the event
and also greatly improved the profitability of the event.
The Museum Lecture Programme
The Museum has always had a popular lecture programme but In response to the Covld-19 pandemlc we
developed the Lockdown Lectures which were broadcast online with a live Q&A. These launched in April 2020
and quickly grew In popularlty, and a grant from the Heritage Fund Emergency Fund In late 2020 allowed us
to purchase our own live-stream equipment.
Now, we live stream all our lectures as well as having a Ilve audience In the Museum, and we offer them to
view on catch up too. We have also donated passes to watch ouronline lecture'box-5ets' to local care home5
for their residents.

Reser¥es Pollcy
The results for the period. and the companls financial position at the end of the year, are shown In the
attached accounts. The agreements wlth the MOD continued to work well and are of enormous benefit to
the Museum. However. MOD budget constraints continue to adversely affect the maintenance support for
Phase l of the museum building (which is an MOD maintenance responsibilityl. This has resulted in Museum
staff taking on some maintenance tasks and additional expense falling to the Museum.
The Museum maintains a level of free reserves as mitigation against the operational risks listed in the risk
register. Restricted reserve5 are used in accordance with their specified restrictions. Free 11.e. non-
committed) reseryes are calculated on the basis of the excess of unrestricted funds over flxed assets. The
mlnlmum level of the unrestrlcted reseNe Is determined by the requirement to provide some financlal
mitigation of risks listed in the risk register. The most significant of these In flnanclal terms is the risk of
income falling to a level that prejudices the Museum's viablllty. Due to the increased cost of living and rising
overheads, the Trustees have reviewed the policy regardin8 free reserves and agreed to Increase the
requirement to £200,000.

Rlsks
A number of high-level risks have been identified that affect the Museum
SThATEGIC RISK
Income Generatlon
The Museum ha5, in the past. relied on income from events
supported by the Ministry of Defence to generate a surplus.
These events are no longer avallable and so additional income
needs to he generated through footfall, trading and
fundraising. In addition, Ministry of Defence funding and
material support 15 likely to decrease over time, putting
further pressure on the Museum budget.
Covld-19
The impact of any future peaks and subsequent lockdowns
will have a significant impact on the reserves.
Loss of Reputatlon
Adverse comment and poor reputatlon affect buslness
performance.
Maintenance liablllty.
Pressure on Ministry of Defence funding has reduced
maintenance support puttin8 additional pressure on museum
funding
HR Rlsk
Errors in HR management can lead to discontent, stress, loss
of produttivlty and in extreme cases. trlbunals and fine5.
RESPONSE
Project Eagle has substantially increased
footfall and trading, but these have now
been affected by the pandemic, cost of
living crisis and the situation in Ukraine.
However, fundraising is now embedded in
the organisation and a component of core
funding.
All opportunities for fundraising and
Income generation must be actioned
when possible.
Legal compliance and a culture of
customer service and value for money.
Significant Improvements in the material
State of the Museum through Project
Eagle plus a system of planned
maintenance.

leading to a fine.
Fraud
Staff loading/ln¢apacity
Health and Safety advice has been
outsourced.

Responslbllltles of trustees

also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the
preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and falr vlew, and for
such internal tontrol as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group's and parent
charitable company's ability to contlnue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going

Irregularitie5, including ffaud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulatlOll5. We design
procedures in line with our respon5ibilitie5. Outlined above. to detect material misstatements in respect of
irregularities. including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are
capable of detectlng IrreEularities. Including fraud is detailed below-
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and the
sector in which it operates through discussions with management. sector research, and the
application of relevant audit knowledge and experience
We made enquiries of management around actual and potential litl8ation and claims
We made enqulrles of management and relevant staff. and designed our audit procedure5. including
reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing of supporting documentation, to assess
compliance with applicable laws and regulatlons. We focussed on laws and regulations which could
give rise to material misstatement in the financial statements including, but not limited to. the
Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Charities SORP, and the Financial Reporting Standard
102.
We identified the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud and deslEned
audlt procedures to respond to the risk. We performed audit procedures designed to address the
risk of fraud arislng from management overrlde of controls, including, but not limited to, testing of
journal entries and other adjustments, reviewing accounting estimates for evidence of blas, and
evaluatln8 the buslness ratlonale of signiflcant transactions outside the normal course of business
Because of the Inherent limltatlons of an audlt. there Is a rlsk that we will not detect all irregularitles. including
those leading to a material misstatemer)t in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This
risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions
reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instance5 of non-
compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud
Involves Intentional concealment, forgery, colluslon, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of ourresponsibilities for the audit of the financlal statements is located on the Flnanclal
Reportlng Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our
